week 7 BOC: Collage that tells a story

A culture and form of ground breaking music and self expression with elements that consisted of the elements of graffiti art, DJing, MCing, and breaking. Today Hip-Hop is considered to be dead in the mainstream because so-called mainstream Hip-Hop doesn't have the elements of hip-hop and have no meaning. The stuff on MTV and the radio can't be called Hip-Hop because the lyrics don't have any meaning or self expression. Wack artists today just rap about their shopping lists and other bullshit. There are no more DJs making a prescence since artists today think they can manage without them. Without a DJ there are no scratches and cuts. No much graffiti art is being shown in videos. Artists such as Tupac, Biggie, Kanye West, Jay Z ect. DOnt lack graffiti because their lyrics actually have a meaning and also they have great MCs mixing their music. This collage tells a story of what most african american childen growing up aroun the 1980s to now have been listening to for age's. Hiphop is just another art form just like photography...
